Push and hold it - it will activate the media player. You can chnage this in the button cpl

D-pad center button -perss and hold not working

I have pocketplayer and Salling Clicker remote app on my Treo 750. In Salling clicker Win Media player script, on press and hold, it should show the current playlist and short press is just to select a song to play...In pocketplayer, press and hold is for selecting a song and quick press is for play/pause..
My problem is that press and hold is not generating any results in these cases. Nothing happens... normal functions are fine on pressing it once, just press and hold doesn't function properly... any ideas why its happening and what could be the work around...
By the way, press and hold is showing context menus in Resco Explorer and other apps, so I am sure button doesnt have anything wrong with it.
I heard there are some issues with Palm center buttons. Anybody knows something regarding that...
Thanks for your help guys!!!!

Need help with AE Button Plus

I've used this program for years but I'm having trouble getting it to work on my FUZE.
I searched the forums and found a few threads where people recommend it and said it worked great on their phone. I also read that the home and ok button's can't be re-mapped (well... they can... but it's bot practical).
So, I'm trying to re-map the send and hang up keys. I assumed the keys are the green and red phone keys listed within AE Button Plus. I edited those to do what I wanted and soft reset the device. Problem is, neither of the buttons do anything I told AE Button Plus to do. A long hold of the green phone button starts Voice Command. A long hold of the red phone button opens the "Long Press Red Key" application. I'm using NATF's 2.2 ROM (if that makes a difference).
I thought that maybe the FUZE has it's own button codes so I tried adding buttons. But clicking on the red or green phone button while the add a button window is popped up doesn't work.
How do those of you with your FUZE have AE Button Plus working with the phone hardware buttons? What am I doing wrong?
I have mapped the Green button with AEBPlus and it is working fine. For this button you don't need to use Add button function and I think,the Red button can be mapped same way.

You're right. I did some more testing and single, double, and triple presses work fine. The problem is, I can't re-map the long press'. Is it possible?

Try again to add the buttons, but this time hold the call and end buttons longer. It will only let u remap the long press. However it will also remap the PTT button. This is a problem for me. I have found a way to kinda cheat this though. I created the PTT_Long.lnk file in the windows directory. (You can find the directions somewhere here in the Rafael forums) Now my short press = camera and I can program the long press etc. And I can use AEBPlus to remap everything else.. Good luck..Hopefully AEBPlus will update their software to work with the Rafael...

It's still not working for me
If I press the green button too long it opens up a new windows with things like "Turn Airplane Mode on" and a few others being shown.
If I press the red button too long it starts Voice Command. If I press it any shorter then that it doesn't register as a new code within AE Button Plus.
I'm not sure what you did to get it working on your end... but I can't re-map the long press' of those buttons on my phone.
Maybe I need to disable the default long press commands via the registry?
remap soft keys on HOME screen of TF3D
I am using PI8 (pocket informant) as my contacts and calendar. I would like to remap the 2 soft keys that are currently going to "windows" version of calendar and contacts, to instead go to PI8 version of calendar and contacts.

Use advanced config and you can set them that way. You have to soft reset aftewards...

There is a new version of AEBPlus out, however it still doesn't get along with the Fuze very well. I Finally uninstalled it and am happy with short/long press only on the PTT. I also run GScroll and use it to double touch the capacitive screen to launch stuff...much better...
home soft keys for PI8
please explain where in Advanced config do I go to change a setting for the 2 soft keys for the home screen. I can't find anything. I found it in Diamond tweaks under 14.5 but it does not give me an option to select PI8.
The long keypress for Green button can be solved by standart button settings as a "Button1(Hold)". I have mapped for a longpress the phone interface that way(1click I use as Alt+Tab). I don't know about red button,because I use red button to instantly drop the call and this feature is missing in my version of AEBPlus and I don't need to upgrade.

Quickest way to reach camera

I am a Touch Pro which does not have a PTT button.
Any suggestions on how to reach the camera quickly? What is your quickest way to get to the camera?
remap the center button on your phone to start up camera
mobileSCR Gscroll, map the capacitive area of the screen(where the buttons are), really useful(can choose any sequence of taps to do anything, open application)
or AEButton... what' the use of a volume rocker? just use one button to get to the volume page and use the touch screen to change the setting...(one problem would be changing vol on the fly like during a phone call... that case, change the setting, one-button press = default volume behavior, two-button press = whanever you want, three -button, long press, whatever you want

Thanks! I will try to do this but I cannot find the built in remap ap on NRGs rom, still looking for it :-D
@paperWastage: Thanks for the tip! If I cannot find the built in software I will install AE buttons.
you cant remap the center button. i think he was being pedantic. maybe you can set a button to be voice command and say "start camera".
I just have the camera in the programs... Slide over to programs and press camera...

actually... i was serious. There is a fuze keyboard config software floating somewhere in the raphael forums. It might be able to let you remap the centerbutton.
but why would you want to remap your center button.

I have to agree as this is a very important function.
Mayne a Long press center button maybe more appropriate.
I cant seem to find any remap built in software on the NRG rom. My Touch dual had one which allowed me to remap some basic buttons like volume button.
Looks like AEbuttons is the answer for me. Will try to test it first and update you guys.
If you go to Setting and on the Personal Tab there is a Buttons setting and you can change the receive call button (press and hold of course) to whatever you want, including the camera.
Also a good idea to go over to the Systems tab and change the Long Press End Key Setting to Lock Device or something else than Turn Airplane mode on/off, god that sound is annoying when Airplane mode is turned on
it depends on the rom or software if you have the unlocked all buttons. honestly theres no faster way to get there than start > camera or photos tab > camera. if you dont have an american phone with a ppt button, there wont really be a faster way.
i actually did not mean to map the single click. I thought it was obvious i meant the long press.
using softkey manager you can replace one of the softkeys on the homescreen, as ur using an NRG rom im guessing your two softkeys on the home tab are "action" and "contacts"? ive got rid of the contacts, because a. i could jus use the people tab, or b. jus press the call button to bring up the dialer... and have replaced it with camera
the softkey manager should be under utililites/tweaks... it is on mine and im using an NRG rom
hope this helps.

end key app?

Hi,
Can you clarify 'works perfect' on the TG01 - I am using the (registered) Buttons Plus, but have only been able to get it to support a single alternative button press on the Camera, bottom 'Zoom' bar and right-hand 'OK' button.
Could you please share your settings which allow you to get it to work with multi-settings per button, and also specify buttons are you able to get it to work with ?
Would be really appreciated
Many thanks,

As known, TG01 don't have hardware buttons....so when I say "perfect" I mean as perfect as possible....
I don´t use camera button (I'm afraid camera could fail)
I'm using only volume buttons and the zoom bar.
Volume UP:
1. Single press: PageDn
2. Double press: PageUp
3. Triple press: Switch Display Off/On
Volume DOWN:
1. Single press: "Resco Audio Recorder -rec"
2. Double press: "Resco Audio Recorder -exit"
3. Triple press: Switch Display Off/On
Zoom bar: (Button #405C)
Alt+Tab (Change between opened apps)
How to map zoom bar:
a) Open AEBPlus (I have v2.6)
b) Tap Left softkey: File
c) Add button
d) Add Key (Touch the zoom bar: The program detects Key code 405C as Win Key)
e)Tap Add Key
You'll have a new button called Button #405C
Tap & Hold over the new line (Button #405C) and assign Alt+Tab to it
The program ask to self reset, say Yes and .... here you are!
some doubts
You seem knoweleagble: I would like to receive your suggestions
I onw two units of HD2, I am trying to understand how to use AE buttons, then I will surely buy it, but I have many doubts…
Questions:
1. Where can I find a complete tutorial?
2. Where can I find a help, to understand each functions? I mean, not FAQ, just a help file.
3. from AEBPlus Settings > add button > ONLY 2 hardware buttons can be captured (the one with white backspace arrow on it and the home with a home depicted on it)
the other 5 buttons cannot be sensed: I mean
- phone button: if pressed the phone canvas appear, the ADD KEY screen disappears and no key code appears
- same story for the phone-OFF button and for the volume up and volume down buttons.
4.
Since at least one button is recognized (the white backspace) I have set it to work as follows:
1st short press > open contacts
2nd key press > open excel
3rd key press > open opera
4th key press > calculator
But ONLY short press and long press do work! The other 2 cannot work (Therefore I cannot open excel and opera…)
Additionally: if I want to open CONTACTS, I just need to press short and CONTACTS application appears on my screen
If I want to use CALCULATOR > I need to press AND HOLD! If so CALCULATOR shows up. If I pull off my finger from the hardware button > calculator disappears and the home page comes back…
Please can you explain what I am doing wrong?
Thanks and waiting for any help and suggestions

Sorry Saulo, I have a TG01 , I don' know how this program works on HTC devices.....

About long.. and short.lnk on HD2

Hi,
I want to configure my HD2 like this:
Short press on End = Default
Long press on End = Power off
Short press on Back = Default
Long press on Back = Start HTC Flashlight
..and so on for all the hard buttons, Green, Red (End), Back, Home, Windows, Vol Up, Vol Down.
I have read several (and I mean several) threads about creating own shortcuts, but I still haven't found the answer..
Long_Power.lnk/Short_Power.lnk/Long_Send.lnk/Short_Send.lnk etc.
Does anyone know if this method works on HD2 and if so, exactly which buttons that are configurable and which names the shortcuts shall have?
Thanks in advance!
AEB Plus
try to search themes and apps for "AEB Plus". It's an app that makes you be able to configure all the hardware buttons with short press and long presses. Good luck!

Thanks for your tip, but I'd prefer own shortcuts/registry hacks if possbile as I try to minimize the number of applications to install/maintain/buy for a very specific reason.
Rename the INK file of the preferred program to LONG_SEND and copy this INK file to WINDOWS root directly. Press and hold the SEND hardkey will execute that preferred program. But the SEND key may not work when there is an incoming call.
Tried AE Button Plus but fail to work with the BACK button.

Thanks, but do you know any other shortcuts that work?
I hope someone else may find method to override the default function of the keys other than SEND. Currently I am using Touchx long press send key for connmanager and you may select other installed program for the long press send key. I have also tried AE Button Plus but the Windows, Home and Back key all cannot be controlled by AE Button no matter double, triple nor long tap.
